2020 Scott Speedster Gravel 30

[@b5thomas7]

Might be the best-looking gravel bike on the market and well priced.

[@joelafountaine260]

*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*

[@ericsantosnascimento]

I like the simplicity of this video, no small talk, no BS, Just honest review!

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Does the GRX in the cockpit give you a more upright seating position when on the hoods versus a regular road bike?

[@adharshc4871]

Is it possible to mount racks for luggage and bottle? Also is quick release beyter thannthrough axle?

[@toddmcdonough]

Great looking bike and nicely spec'ed.

[@GregGrude]

Another great review! Your videos are especially valuable right now in this COVID environment since we can still order a new bicycle online but can’t really go to a local shop and test ride them (at least not where I live at the moment). A personal request would be for you to get your hands on a Trek Crockett 4 and Kona - Jake the Snake to review. Keep the videos coming - Greg

[@TheBicycleRider]

Thank you for the comment and yes I believe video reviews are important right now so when people buy online they have a little firsthand experience. Today I had a firsthand experience with both the bicycles you mentioned the Kona Jake the snake which is a bike that I've always been impressed with really held its own today against some very expensive gravel bikes and of course the track Crockett is a tried and true performer that again was on the ride with us today and is a very rock solid bike. I think they're putting a lot of reliability into all these models at a good price I have to say the MARIN Gestalt is the one that has my heart though. Let us know what you pick? Thank you for your comment

[@webgove]

I have bought this bike for 2 weeks. I wanted to know the minimum tire size to make an exclusive road use. 28 mm, do you think it can fit in?

[@TheBicycleRider]

Oh yes a 28 would fit and I think that would be better than a 23. If you want something in between you can go for 26 but I would recommend the 28 if you're going for road use only and want to be fast and have still have a bit of compliance. Go for the 28th they will fit

[@Matzethedude]

I have 30mm on my addict 20. very good performance.

[@adharshc4871]

Also whats the tyre clearance with and without full mudguards?

[@Universalengineerings]

What the different betwen Speedster 30 for Gravel and for Road Bike ?

[@katharina_313]

Is there a possibilty to add a stand or a carrier?

[@traffiic6099]

Hello. Please tell me the size of the front and rear hubs on this bike. I am the owner of this bike and cannot find the dimensions of the hubs anywhere. thanks

[@alexwillis1322]

great review! I've been riding an MTB for a long time now, and I am riding a Scott scale size L. it is perfect mesure for me but I don't know if for the Scott speedster its to big or to small can someone help me? thanks!

[@paulr2376]

I dont know if this helps you that much since i dont have the comparison to yours , but i just got this exact model today in L/56cm and it fits my 190cm very well. Only have close to 1h road time because it startet to rain heavily , but i must say this is a beast of a bike.

Paul Rühsen i am 187cm. I purchased XL (58cm). That usualy my size, but i fell Speedster 30 is too big in XL. I did not try L yet but i am afraid L can be too small. Is it also not standard for you to ride bike in 56cm size?

[@paulr2376]

Žydrūnas Andruška Xl would have Been my prefered choice if the reseller did not warn me about it , so yes

Paul Rühsen do you mean that u have been always riding 56 cm or 56cm is same as 58 on other models. I mean if i usually have 58 cm i need to get 56 cm (L) of speedster?

[@paulr2376]

Žydrūnas Andruška Well , I have always been riding 56 , but because i was still riding my youth bike. I was looking for sth bigger and got that. So I suggest to just Go to a Store and they it out

[@Untravelled03]

Hey brother, great review, 👍🏻🙌🏻 could u plz make a detailed review of Scott speedster Gravel 10... no1 else has made it as yet.. thnaks.. 🥰

[@LouisHamilfton]

Kunal Aneja You mean the black one?! Its the same bike just better grx parts....

[@TheBicycleRider]

Man I will see if I can search one of those out If so you got it brother I'll do a detailed review for you

[@czesiu420]

true, speedster is fast bike, good geometry. In this price scott give to us good wheels. Yesterday I sereviced one. This is really nice bike !

[@alexsp7086]

Man you should do Reviews for all the bikes on the market. You answer all the questions :)

[@TheBicycleRider]

Thank you I appreciate your comment. We try to ride these bikes and varied situations and think about all the questions someone might ask before we do our review. My problem I'm just not the best on camera but I do like to ride bikes and I'll get better in front of the camera but thank you

[@Shralps]

I thought it was black with green decals until the camera zoomed in! Does it look green or black when you're stood next to it? Or does it depend on the light?

[@TheBicycleRider]

Yes it is a cool color and depending on the light sometimes it looks black sometimes it looks green. I'll see if I can get my hands on this bike again and take it out in the natural light to showcase the very nice paint job

[@Shralps]

@@TheBicycleRider That would be awesome. Thanks!

[@adharshc4871]

Can you also do a video on bergamont grandutance 5/6/rd plz?

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Good vid, weight of bike as is?

[@TheBicycleRider]

I personally know who bought this Scott speedster. I will track him down and see if he can let us borrow it to put it on the scale. As soon as I can get that accomplished I will post the actual weight. I actually asked my friend if he could ride this morning with me but said he had to report to work I will catch him over the weekend

[@56507ryan]

I think about 22lbs

[@shemmac4700]

Would this make a good commuter?

[@TheBicycleRider]

Yes I think this bike would make a good commuter It would be fast! As far as long-term durability in the urban situation I wouldn't case any curbs but as long as you're fairly careful I think it would work out very well

[@vmxd]

I have 2018 Scott Speedster 10 Disk and use it as commuter to work with mixed terrain, roads, park gravel and its awesome bike. Only one cone - you cannot fit wide tires 40mm + and rims are not tubeless compatible, but you can covert it. I did..

[@josesepulveda9313]

Are the rims tubeless ready?

[@TheBicycleRider]

No , not tubeless ready

[@ranisyarullin697]

bushings on industrial bearings?

[@stupidninjazz]

Can i convert eccentric to axes ?

[@adharshc4871]

Is the geometry aggresive like a road bike or is it a bit upright for gravel?

[@ha5mth]

It’s more like a road bike

[@LoisCS]

@TheBicycleRider Whats the size limit on tires for this gravel bike? Could i use 37mm on it? Many of them can get 40mm, but i dont think if this one could.. Great review and job! Congratz from Spain!

[@TheBicycleRider]

Wow the bicycle rider is reaching Spain, I think that's awesome Spain is where my grandfather is from and I'd love to visit someday. As far as the max tire for the Scott speedster I think that's where this bike is limited a bit. I didn't have this bike in my hands for a long-term test and was only borrowing it from a local bicycle shop so I couldn't modify the bike as I would like. The tires that were on this bike for the test ride were 700 x 35 which in my opinion are a little skinny for the type of gravel and riding we do here in South Mississippi. just eyeballing the fit it was pretty tight and I don't think a 40 c would fit with any clearance for mud. On the bright side a friend of mine bought the exact bike that was featured in this video and as he starts to modify the stock setup I will be able to follow up with real life fitment of bigger tires which will probably be his first upgrade. Please stay tuned and thanks for your comment!

[@vmxd]

Yes. you can use 38mm wide tires and also convert these wheels to tubeless. I converted these wheels to tubeless without any problems and was able to fit Panaracer SK Gravel 38mm width! works perfectly. Here is my bike 2018 Speedster Gravel after conversion to tubeless with 38mm width tires: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmjOmYqVrplgZtU

[@qusayalghazali941]

Great review 💓

[@oinh8493]

I have the same bike and it’s a good gravel bike

[@junboo8730]

I really like this one but in my case now I’m used to single speed on the front. What you prefer Bart?. I really don’t like those front derailleurs maybe because I don’t know how to use them and when they start with the noise it makes me crazy. Also single speed for me is more secure when you are giving your all and less weight.

[@TheBicycleRider]

Yes I like you I am a big fan of the single speed. What today is modern derailleurs and wide ratio rear cassettes along with single wide front chain rings just make a single speed so rock solid. Also the front derailleur limits the size of the rear tire. Also as you pointed out extra weight.

[@junboo8730]

TheBicycleRider Wow didn’t know about the size of the rear tire. Interesting. Walmart bikes sure make this 21 speed as something important ha. When people see my bike the first thing they ask is how many speed, when I say I have 11 or 10 they put this face as if my bikes are garbage haha. Then I have to explain them and show them. Is there any road bike with a 1 by ...?, it would be interesting how it compares to the other road bikes.

[@TheBicycleRider]

@@junboo8730 , I have experience the same thing some people equate the number of gears to how good the bike is Like you say on a department store bike 21 is supposed to be impressive. When it comes down to it there's a lot of extra weight and some gears that never get used. Would the current one buu drive systems, things stay light and efficient it's really all you need and things are less complicated with only one derailleur needed.

[@TheBicycleRider]

I've actually gone one by on my areo bike , gravel bike , commuter bike and fixing to make my road bike one by. If I ever travel to an area of the country where I'm going to do more touring or heavy climbing I can see how the multiple chain ring definitely can come in handy there. Hopefully someday I'll get to travel a little bit more and I might need a double or triple chain ring up front but for now the one by keeps me very happy

[@junboo8730]

TheBicycleRider Interesting man. Thank you for all you do to this community. Now the gearbox technology looks so promising but that is totally a different topic.

[@rokibuca]

this is my first bike I buy and is a very good bike at least fo me

[@xelseartheonlyone1267]

Max tyre clearance of this??

[@luanmai1984]

same question

[@AeroMetalMoe]

@@luanmai1984 I have the Scott Speedster Gravel 20 from 2020 and 38mm seems to be the limit. I'm running Panaracer Gravel King SK Plus 38mm tyres and there is barely any clearance left.

[@luanmai1984]

@@AeroMetalMoe im looking for a bigger tires, around 45:) tks for reply

[@AeroMetalMoe]

@@luanmai1984 You are welcome! Just as he says, the bike leans more to the racy side of things, meaning that you will be able to ride quite fast on lighter gravel. I was just participating in a race last weekend with some technical single trails (roots, mud, chunky big gravel) and it was a bit too much to handle for my Scott. I also had the chance to try out the new Canyon Grizl with 45mm tubeless Schwalbe tyres, which I liked a lot. It was perfect for more technical stuff but obviously not as fast on paved streets compared to my Scott. it really depends on what you want to do with your bike. Good luck with finding your perfect bike! :)

[@rubcan]

Isnt hybrid bike the same?

[@TheBicycleRider]

No I'm finding hybrids have more of a flat bar or riser bar and a bit different frames geometry a true gravel bike is definitely a bit different than a hybrid but I have to say you are correct I gravel bike can do many things just like a hybrid can. Good question let me know your thoughts

[@charliemccloskey8358]

hybrid is suitable for commuting, upright and more for comfort. Think of this as a road bike with MTB tires on it, plus a bit of change to the geometry

[@Vlavolnik]

for Cross?!? 10.5 kG!!!
